The original Duo was better known as the Helio Ocean, but there was also a GSM version on AT&T. The Duo 2 (aka the C820) has a 2-megapixel camera and dual-band 850/1900 GSM/EDGE/WCDMA.

The Drop Phone (AKA Shooting Star), which was designed by fuseproject is said to “resemble a drop of water with a refined taste and sophistication”. It’s a fully functioning intuitive phone and it looks beautiful.
It is, as the title said a Best of Innovations 2008 Honoree, even though Pantech said they wouldn’t be exhibiting this year. I think it’s sort of gutsy to put the word “Drop” in the name of your phone but it takes guts to make it.
That’s right, even ATT wants their piece of the pie come this Friday. What are they doing to garner your attention? Try a 50% off sale on certain handsets.
Interested in the Samsung a737? Sony Ericsson w580i? BlackBerry Curve 8310? Pantech Duo? What about the Moto RAZR2? Well they are all half off, priced at $24.99, $24.99, $99.99, $99.99, and $149.99 respectively.

It’s been a while since Pantech has released a smart phone. I was skeptical when I first laid eyes on the Pantech C810, also known as the Pantech Duo. But all of my doubts were soon washed away. I don’t know if this dual sliding, smart phone could have been executed any better.
The Pantech Duo is available through AT&T meaning it’s GSM. It operates on the 850, 900, 1800, 1900 frequencies, meaning the phone will suit all of your international traveling needs.
Bone conduction. No, not some heinous experiment involving a hot-plate and the contents of your Dad's underpants, it's a way of squirrelling sound into your ears by directly vibrating your skull. The key benefits are that you can still hear despite ambient noise - that means you don't have to turn the volume up - and it's far more private as eavesdroppers would have to press their faces against yours to hear it. And you'd probably notice them doing that. We've seen it before on Bluetooth headsets and mp3 players, but Pantech are perhaps the first to put it directly into a cellphone with their A1407PT.

The C150 is one of the latest low-end phones to come from Pantech. Low-end doesn’t mean it’s not a good phone, it just means that it doesn’t have all of the fancy features that you’d find in your smartphones and such.
Pantech, the maker of the Helio Ocean, is set to release the c810. AT&T will be getting this dual slider, instead of Helio. Sadly though, AT&T’s version might have Windows Mobile 6, but Helio has the power of Sprint’s EV-DO network, instead of mere EDGE speeds.
So, if you are a big fan of Windows Mobile 6, but also liked the dual slider action of the Ocean, feel free to go ahead and buy the Ocean and tell all the c810 users how much faster it is. No really though, the c810 is a pretty decent option for all the business users who need a phone based on the Windows Mobile platform.
